More Than Three Thousand Cubans Have Perished Due to Terrorism
Thousands of Cubans have been victims of terrorist acts with support from the United States, says a report that the Cuban government is circulating at the U.N. today.
Cuba has suffered 681 terrorist and mercenary invasions, resulting in the irreparable loss of life of 3,478 men, women and children.
Those data are reflected in the report, available at the website for the Human Rights Council at the U.N.
Another 2,099 Cubans have been physically disabled for the rest of their lives, adds the document that Cuba will present on May 1 at the Human Rights Council, based in Geneva.
That day Cuba will also appear for a Universal Periodic Review (UPR), a human rights review process imposed on all U.N. member states.
In February 2009, Cuba appeared for its first UPR evaluation with results that Havana considered positive.
In its next presentation, the delegation of the Caribbean island will insist that continued U.S. hostility undermines the human rights of the Cuban people.
Cubans are commemorating the 52nd anniversary of the defeat of mercenary forces armed and financed by Washington at the Bay of Pigs, routed in less than 72 hours at a high price in civilian and military lives.
Cuba's report to the Human Rights Council states that this and other armed actions have caused extensive damage to economic and social objectives of the country.
Mercenary invasions, sabotage, biological aggression, illegal radio and television broadcasts, the encouragement of illegal immigration and violent attempts to assassinate Cuba's top leaders are among the forms of aggression reported in the text.
The U.S. administration is also accused of continuing to finance plans to provoke regime change in Cuba, including covert actions.
For fiscal years 2010 and 2011 the government of President Barack Obama earmarked $40 million USD for such purposes, the text also says. It describes as the financial, economic and trade blockade that Washington has imposed over five decades against the small neighboring island as economic warfare.
Economic losses suffered by Cuba due to the U.S. led blockade is conservatively estimated at more than $1 trillion USD.
